[h1]Multiverse Rising: Reborn[/h1] [h3]The Story Up Until Now[/h3] About five years ago, the Anomaly took place. In an immeasurably vast multiverse, one universe experienced a strange event, the Anomaly, that could forever alter the future of the Multiverse at large. Something wiped out all the inhabitants of this world, and covered the planet in strange devices that allowed for inter-universal travel called Terminals. The Anomaly also caused Arcadia to become a hub world, a place between dimensions, and as such all those who would normally be cast out of their own dimension ended up in Arcadia. In addition, a mysterious force began dragging powerful warriors from all over the multiverse into Arcadia. This rapidly populated Arcadia with dangerous and powerful forces, who fought for control over the Terminals, which could form the only route home, or a great chance to expand one's power to other universes. First came the Dark Outliners, an inter-universal organisation tasked with keeping balance in the multiverse. They attempt to limit inter-universal traffic as much as possible in order to retain what they believe to be the natural order of things, and quell anomalies such as this. So when such a massive event occurred, they sent their best and brightest to investigate. They fleet hovered over the planet, and they attempted to investigate both the anomaly itself, and those that had been dragged here. This inevitably brought them into conflict with many of the elements on the planet's surface. One such element was the New Imperium. Nova, the Star Child, was reborn here from it's death in the Materium of the Warhammer universe. This immensely powerful being at first wondered at the Terminals, and the strange beings of Arcadia. But soon he set about conquering it, with the intention of unifying all universes under a single banner of justice. He called forth armies of soldiers from his universe, powerful superhuman angels of death who wiped out his opposition. This was directly opposed to the goals of the Outliners, and they clashed often based on this, although the manipulative Outliners rarely confronted him in direct combat. The last and perhaps most dangerous force on Arcadia was the Alliance of Conquerors. This league of supervillains had gathered together in order to take control of as much of the multiverse as possible, an expanding tyranny backed by their immense power. Their original cast included Bowser, Ultron, and Gidorah. These warriors were the greatest enemies to the New Imperium, and the clash between these parties nearly set the surface of the world ablaze. Eventually, after many adventures, twists and turns, peace was declared. Each of the factions took control of a certain area. The New Imperium took control of the United States, as well as Mexico and the surrounding, smaller countries. The Alliance of Conquerors took control of Canada, as well as Alaska. The Outliners, being beyond petty struggles for territory, remained in space, maintaining several outposts in different universes. Although it is believed that they have several secret outposts on the ground. Sweden is owned by none of the factions, but has instead become infested with creatures called Kolons, who have turned the entire place into a nuclear hazard zone that just doesn't stop exploding. But peace between these groups is uneasy, and war looms on the horizon. Even as still more warriors and even armies are drawn into Arcadia, further complicating matters. What these new arrivals do may alter the course of history. An ancient evil also looms. For once, a powerful force annihilated all life in Arcadia. And it's new inhabitants may soon discover the true nature of the Anomaly, and the danger it has brought. [h3]The Rules[/h3] The rules are fairly simple.
